Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

At that time, He Song only needed to refine the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill to attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

The Golden Elixir secret method he had obtained from Master Yin Yue’s Cave Mansion was naturally already stored in He Song’s storage bag.

He Song never cared about the Golden Elixir secret method in Meng Guan’s hands.

However, he didn’t expect that the thing he had never cared about would be remembered by Meng Guan today and placed in front of him.

Seeing this, He Song didn’t hesitate and picked up the jade slip in front of him, putting it into his storage bag.

Only after doing all this did He Song look up at Meng Guan beside him.

“I don’t hide it from my fellow Daoist; although I haven’t encountered much Great Fortune in all these years, I have encountered countless small fortunes.”

“After accumulating for so many years, I’ve actually amassed quite a fortune, but I never revealed any of it.”

“Now that I’ve stepped into the Golden Core Realm, I don’t need to hide these things anymore.”

“It’s just tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, with my current strength, it’s still within my ability to protect them.”

“But it’s not good to rely on the dwindling stockpile. I don’t know how you and Wei make a living in the Sun Faction. Where do the Golden Elixir Elders of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect get their income from?”

“Please enlighten me, so that in the future, if possible, I can also take some spirit stones back.”

He Song has always been curious about the source of spirit stones for the Golden Elixir Elders or the Sect Leaders of the Golden Elixir powers in the Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

However, he had not asked the two before.

There were many reasons, but the most important one was that after He Song opened up his cave mansion in Green Moon Immortal State and established many Medicine Gardens, he never lacked spirit stones.

Although he still doesn’t lack any now, since the two were already in front of him, He Song decided it would be better to ask about it after giving it some thought.

After all, sending messages through Sound Transmission Amulets is indeed covert but also quite troublesome; it’s not as simple as asking face-to-face.

Moreover, after learning about the methods used by other Golden Elixir Masters to obtain spirit stones, he might be able to reference them and increase his income even further.

With such thoughts in mind, He Song finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

As He Song put away the jade slip and asked his question.

On the side,

Meng Guan nodded satisfactorily and, after some thought, spoke again.

“Tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to millions of low-grade spirit stones.”

“To accumulate such an amount, I’m afraid even I would need a very long time.”

“It seems that during your years wandering outside, you’ve indeed gained quite a lot and are very lucky.”

“However, since you’ve asked about how Golden Core Realm cultivators earn spirit stones, I’ve also learned a bit about it before.”

“In the Sun Faction, Golden Elixir Elders like Wei and I can get some annual salary, but not much.”

“Presently, Wei and I can get an annual salary of 300 mid-grade spirit stones from the Sun Faction.”

“This amount of annual salary is indeed much less than your tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones; I’m afraid it would take a hundred years of saving without spending to reach that level.”

“However, the method for Golden Core Realm cultivators to earn spirit stones is not like that of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who rely on their annual salary.”

“In the Sun Faction, there are many external affairs – some require hunting down sect enemies, some require killing diabolism cultivators, some require elixir and artifacts refining, and some require being stationed at various places.”

“After the Golden Elixir Masters take up these external affairs, they only need to complete them on time to obtain a large number of spirit stones and contribution rewards.”

“The spirit stones and contributions of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect are quite similar to those of the Thick Earth Sect; I won’t go into details.”

“In addition, to the west of the Sun Faction, there is a Nascent Soul Upper Sect called the Netherworld Blade Sect.”

“The cultivators in the Netherworld Blade Sect are ruthless when they make a move; when the Netherworld Blade comes out, gusts of cold wind blow, making them look like they’re not much different from evil sects.”

“If you meet the cultivators of the Netherworld Blade Sect in the future, you must be extra careful.”

“These cultivators of the Netherworld Blade Sect are very skilled in fighting, especially when dealing with various spirit beasts; their combat power is astonishing.”

“The cause of this is the vast land to the west of Netherworld Blade Sect that has a massive number of demonic beasts dwelling in it, known as the Demons Realm. Within the Demons Realm, there are countless demonic beasts with formidable strength.”

“At the periphery of the Demons Realm, there are a large number of demonic beasts at the Qi Refining stage, and even those at the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“Going deeper, there are even Golden Elixir demonic beasts and even Nascent Soul Demon Kings lurking, but due to the immense size of the Demons Realm, the Netherworld Blade Sect only occupies a small area on its periphery.”

“So I don’t know what the highest realm is for the demonic beasts within.”

“However, due to the pervasive yin energy within the Demons Realm, the demonic beasts that grew up in it are constantly eroded by the yin energy, leaving only their instincts, devoid of any sense of reason.”

“Therefore, there’s no need to worry about the demonic beasts wreaking havoc.”

“Furthermore, as these demonic beasts fight and cultivate amongst themselves, their cultivation breakthrough speed is also quite fast.”

“The surrounding Nascent Soul Upper Sects are also attracted by the materials from these demonic beasts, gradually turning this place into a training ground for their disciples and Golden Elixir Elders.”

“The disciples of the Netherworld Blade Sect, being close to the water’s edge, often go to the periphery of the demonic beast territory to slay them and obtain various precious materials for amulet making, artifacts refinement, and even elixir refinement, among other things.”

“As such, the disciples of the Netherworld Blade Sect are not only strong in combat strength but also adept at dealing with all kinds of spirit beasts.”

“And this Demons Realm is a place where the Golden Elixir Realm Elders from the several surrounding Nascent Soul Sects often appear.”

“The entire body of a Golden Elixir demonic beast is precious, so if you can slay one, the rewards are naturally bountiful.”

“In this way, if you lack spirit stones, the Demons Realm would be a good place to consider.”

“However, the Demons Realm is vast, and even Northern diabolism Cultivators, as well as practitioners from many other sects, can enter it, making it naturally full of risks.”

“Incidents like murdering for treasures are also common, so it’s better not to go there if you’re not confident in your own strength.”

At this point, Meng Guan subconsciously glanced at He Song.

However, he quickly realized that he seemed to have said something redundant.

With He Song’s caution, upon knowing the existence of the Demons Realm, it was also certainly impossible for him to risk a visit there.

In the Demons Realm, not only are there numerous demonic beasts with lost senses lurking, but also many cultivators wandering about, intending to murder for treasure and steal precious items.

With He Song’s caution, he would never knowingly walk towards danger.

After all, He Song’s caution had been evident since the Qi Refining stage, and he was already accustomed to it.

On the side,

Seeing that Meng Guan stopped talking,

Wei Fan thought for a moment and eventually added,

“The Demons Realm is extremely dangerous, with demonic beasts dwelling and evil cultivators running rampant, not to mention diabolism Cultivators also operating within. Considering the vast scope of the Demons Realm, there must also be many sects bordering it.”

“The disciples and elders of these sects also go to the Demons Realm to hunt down demonic beasts, so you can imagine the chaos there.”

“Unless you have absolutely no choice, you should avoid stepping into this place lightly.”

“For example, due to the dense yin energy within the Demons Realm, many heavenly materials and precious spirit medicines have also emerged, offering various benefits when consumed.”

“It is said that many extremely valuable elixirs from the outside world require precious spirit medicines or heavenly materials from the Demons Realm for their refinement.”

“That is also the reason why many cultivators take risks to enter.”

Having said that, Wei Fan looked at He Song.

Seeing a contemplative expression gradually appearing on He Song’s face.

After listening to Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s descriptions, only one word remained in He Song’s mind right now.

Demons Realm.

According to Meng Guan and Wei Fan, there are both dangers and opportunities in the Demons Realm.

If you’re unlucky, you might be killed by the hidden cultivators or torn apart by demonic beasts as soon as you enter.

But if you’re lucky…
